i think my battery is not giving proper battery backup.. wats price one of it in india??
[Galaxy 3 Accessories] sekhargreen:
cost of battery

MRP is 559/- but you can get it at Rs 500/- only.
[Galaxy 3 Accessories] manish19:
Rs 1100 /-

I have confirmed it from a Samsung Service Center in Kolkata.
[Galaxy 3 Accessories] NishantM:
I got an original one from eBay for Rs.575/-. Firstly I doubted whether it is original, seeing the price. But I got it verified from Samsung Service Centre, it is indeed genuine and giving good backup too.

[Galaxy 3 Accessories] ghpk:
Battery should be around 499-550 INR , it was earlier available on flipkart and letsbuy but seems now its not available on both stores.

Rs.1200 for battery is just way to expensive.

Edit(20-11-11)

(OK found one Ebay seller who has stock for Galaxy 3 battery, I even sent him PM and confirmed the battery model is

same as of our G3, I've ordered one, lets hope this info helps someone).

On a side note, ebay offers 10% off for HDFC customers, you can grab that discount here)

Edit After ordering this seller sent me invoice, email confirmation of order but for some reason I was never provided any courier docket number, yesterday i got a email from ebay that they are auto-refunding this order as seller has not yet provided any shipment details

I hope i get the refund as i didn't got the battery yet.

Also all other sellers are selling this battery for 1000+ INR which is expensive and i would not go for it easily.
[Galaxy 3 Accessories] vivekmishra:
What is the battery life of the batt of our phone, i'm using the given battery with the phone for about 1year 3months, and it giving very low backup dunno if my battery has gone weak or what? :P, and yes, could anybody plz head me to the online genuine and cheaper battery for our phone.

PS- i live in uttar pradesh , india *obvious ;)
[Galaxy 3 Accessories] ghpk:
Siimilar Story here, my phone is about 14 months old and battery seems to be done.

Please see the post above yours it includes Ebay link and the battery details, I've ordered one and waiting for it to reach me, I am also from U.P.

To check if your battery is going bad you can use this simple check.

power off the phone

take out the battery

on a flat surface like a table try to spin the battery on its wide base

If your battery spins like a yoyo or turns multiple times easily, the battery is done and will keep on loosing the charge.

If your battery doesn't easily spins, the batt. still has its cells intact and can be used for few more weeks, months...
[Galaxy 3 Accessories] Lunarantic:
Price check of battery

the samsung has stop making a8 type battery from past 9 months...

so the battery price of original battery which are compatible with galaxy 3 was also compatible with 6 more phones...

and due to shortages now the persons having left with any pieces are selling at high prices...

the only options are to buy these overpriced battery or some other battery with same ratings or change the phone...

i have personally started using battery of galaxy note bought at low price but is having rating of voltages and current to be same the only thing that changes is dimensions for which you need to change the shape of compartment yourself...
[Galaxy 3 Accessories] ak700:
At the service center, you can get it for Rs.700 . At an unauthorized place, you can get it for Rs.400-500 but it comes without warranty.

[Atrix 4G General] djteotancolis:
So guy i'm kinda a noob with this phone and ive been reading a lot on this forum but i'm totally confused as to what can i do, i brought this phone second hand and its rooted with a customised rom. but i want to make the phone back to as it would come stock when you buy it new.

Details about the phone:

Android version:2.3.4

Baseband version: N_01.97.RR

if you need anything from me let me know i will do my best to provide it thanks

and guys i'm a complete noob with everything
[Atrix 4G General] xploited:
I can help you out through this process, lol. :D

Step 1: When you turn on the phone, is there an "Unlocked" text in the top left corner?
[Atrix 4G General] mysticdrew:
so far all the info you've given us says it's stock. What ROM is it using?
[Atrix 4G General] djteotancolis:
YEs it does say unlocked when booting up the phone
[Atrix 4G General] djteotancolis:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1186990&page=19

right now i switche to this ROM
[Atrix 4G General] mysticdrew:
Ok... here's a potential issue - we don't know how the previous owner ever updated to 2.3.4 (aka if they OTA'd), which increases hard brick possibilities. Because we want to avoid a hard brick, the best course to get to "stock" would be samcripp's fruitcakes in the development section and use specifically the 2.3.4 fruitcake. This will get your phone to mostly stock, however the "Unlock" would still stay in the top corner on boot up, which is not stock and won't help you in terms of warranty if that's where you're heading.
[Atrix 4G General] djteotancolis:
Oh alright i get it. thanks a lot, i'll look in the fruitcake thing, why cant i lock the bootloader again?
[Atrix 4G General] Diviance:
Mainly because the bootloader relocking commands don't actually do anything.
[Atrix 4G General] armonwilson888:
Once the bootloader is unlocked it can't be locked again. Motorola uses the unlocked text at the top left as proof that you were modifying your phone therefore voiding the phones warranty.
[Atrix 4G General] djteotancolis:
Oh alright thanks a lot for the info, looks like motorola is being pretty strict about their bootloaders
[Atrix 4G General] djteotancolis:
That makes a bit of sense

thanks
[Atrix 4G General] xploited:
Actually, you are really lucky that the previous owner did all the modding (eliminating risk of bricking while doing it for you ;) .

Now you can install a stock ROM as well as any of the custom ROMs, and when CM7 arrives you will be ready for it too.

To revert back to stock 2.3.4 with your current setup, download the 2.3.4 fruitcake CWM package in the developer's forums. Boot into CWM, fully backup your current system. Wipe all data, install stock rom from your SD card, wipe data again, reboot enjoy. :D

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ravnarok:
I wanted to ask this in the dev forum in Dredz's topic (great topic BTW) but I don't have enough posts so I came here to ask.

I'm on Synergy RC2 on my Evo and I'm down to ~50MB internal memory, can't move anything else over either. I wanted to partition my SD card so I can free up internal memory so my Evo runs more smoothly. I get the jist of the process but what I want to know is what is the best way to preserve my app data and their settings.

I planned on using Titanium Backup as I always have because it'd be a pain in the ass to redo everything but is it even possible to do a smooth restoration of either my apps or app data AFTER the partition? I can probably handle installing apps one by one but the data is very important. Anyone out there have experience with this? Thanks. I apologize in advance since this may have been answered before but using the advance search feature on the forums didn't net me anything concrete. Any other tips on improving internal memory space are also welcome.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
I do it all the time. Flash a new ROM and use TB to restore my apps with data.

No probs!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ravnarok:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] DanDigity:
Is there anyway we can get an apk of the default LG video player for CM7 based ROMs possibly, or is it one of those system apk's that doesn't like custom ROMs like the Lg camera?

it would be appreciated alot if i can have default video player with DTS feature(zip or an apk) that i can install on my G2X after flashing a custom rom
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alteredmass:
I don't think its possible the app requires LG files that aren't present in the cm7/cm9 roms
[T-Mobile LG G2x] IRASadPanda:
With DSP manager and a Kernel with voodoo sound, you can get better sound than DTS would ever deliver.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rohitmohanihm:
i use mx video player.. works good for me... With DSP manager (i am using Singh UI currently and it says it has Beats Audio) probably thats why.. i like it so far
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shane1diamond:
+100x better! DSP or EQ (my personal favorite :))

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] fla.sh:
This is how I made ROM, I'll try to write the steps as simple as I can. For advanced users only!

Update 22/08/11:

Revised packaging steps.

Update 13/08/11:

Removed unwanted method for ROM cooking.

Update 04/08/11:

Modified extract and repack ROM guide and added extracting system.rfs guide.

Things you need:

Base firmware

Archiver software (7zip recommended)

Any Linux environment to build ROM or Cygwin

APK Manager to optimize and decompile *.apk files

MagicISO (Optional) if you want to extract system.rfs

And the last thing is... You need enough experience in android world ;)

So, here is the steps to cook a ROM:

Flash your phone with your desired base firmware

Make required modifications

Pull system.rfs from your phone by running this command on adb shell or Terminal Emulator:

dd if=/dev/stl12 of=/sdcard/system.rfs

Extract any *.tar.md5 files from your base firmware to your working folder with 7zip

Replace the current system.rfs with your modified one

EDIT: Pack your ROM by running this code via terminal or just pack it with 7zip/WinRAR as *.tar

tar -H ustar -c * >> ROMNAME.tar

change ROMNAME to your desired, well, ROM name.

Here is (yet) useful guide to modify your ROM.

Extract system files on system.rfs to make modding easier:

Extract PDA file (*.tar.md5) files with 7zip

Open system.rfs with MagicISO

To extract it, just drag and drop

NOTE: Never edit your ROM with MagicISO because the file permissions will be ignored, use MagicISO only for extracting files from system.rfs

Deodex, and Zipalign (optimize) your ROM apk files:

Ready to use deodex + root for KPN: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1196230

Ready to use deodex + root for KPH and other firmware: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1118048

Open APK Manager

To zipalign your apk files, in apk manager folder /place-apk-here-to-batch-optimize put your:

framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk and all system apk

but not these:

AxT9IME, Calculator, Camera, Email, MMS, Phone, Screen Capture, Settings, Swype, Thinkdroid, Voice search

Choose Choose option 15

Then choose both (zp)

Let it run and done.

Now put back the apk files where they belong in the ROM.

How to put these apk files to my ROM? Copy these files to appropriate locations, such as /system/app to your ROM's /system/app, and etc.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] ketut.kumajaya:
As Linux, MagicISO read RFS image as a FAT filesystem. File permissions can not be maintained. A better way but need linux:

1. Mount system.rfs as FAT and mount it to /tmp/rfs

2. Make ext4 image, and mount it to /tmp/system

3. Copy /tmp/rfs contents to /tmp/system

4. Make modification inside /tmp/system

5. Fix file permissions inside /tmp/system

6. Umount both image

7. Make ODIN flashable image, contains system.rfs (now in ext4 format) and CF-Root-S5830 boot and recovery image (for ext4 support)

8. Boot to Windows and flash your new firmware using ODIN.
